Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Japan gets underway.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Gerson Torres has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kendall Waston made 7 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 30' - It looks like no one’s ball. Costa Rica is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' - Bryan Oviedo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 41' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 42' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Miki Yamane.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ayase Ueda by Takuma Asano on 46 minute.
  • 51' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 56' - Costa Rica is showing some good football. However, Costa Rica are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 61' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 61.
  • 62' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Celso Borges.
  • 62' - Kaoru Mitoma has so much to prove this time. He replaces Miki Yamane on 62 minute.

  • 71' - Francisco Calvo is having his name booked by the referee on 71.
  • 76' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 81' - What a strike from Keysher Fuller! The score is 0-1.
